Bilal – First Born Second Instrumentals

In 3 months it will be 14 years since Bilal Sayeed Oliver’s name crept into the vocabulary of thirsty soul lovers worldwide. Unique and intense, Bilal’s voice and range made him the sweetheart of many while the production provided the foundation during his mystical musical leanings. Commercial giants, Raphael Saadiq, Dr Dre, and Dilla, helped with marketability but it was gems by some of the “underground” producers and musicians like Dre & Vidal, Dahoud Darien and Aaron Comess that helped provide the meat of the album. It should be noted that Bilal produced 2 of the last tracks on the album, Home and Second Child. Enjoy some of the instrumentals from Bilal’s great debut album that served as a launching point before we were invited to further descend Bilal’s rabbit hole with new producers who pushed the envelope like Shafiq husayn, Daedelus and more
